Pep Guardiola laughs at Fabio Capello's statement that he is “arrogant” after the former head of England argued that the Spanish “has done enormous damage to football”

Pep Guardiola has laughed at the statement of former manager of England Fabio Capello that he is “arrogant” and has done “huge damage to football.”

Capello did not hit his brutal evaluation of Guardiola, arguing that the Spanish too often wishes to be the “main character”, citing some of his experimental tactical approaches in large games.

The two worked with each other in the 2002-03 season, when Capello managed Rome and Guardiola played for the A series A for a year.

However, although it seems that there is no lost love of Capello towards the head of the city of Man, Guardiola issued a derogatory response to the verdict of his former manager.

“I listen to everything people say about me, so be careful,” Guardiola said.

'It is not the first time that Mr. Fabio Capello said that. I am not good enough to ruin Italian football, it is very important. A big hug for Fabio.

Capello argued that Guardiola often tries to steal the center of attention with his experimental tactics

Guardiola, who is seen by many fans as one of the best coaches in the history of football, has won 18 surprising trophies as head of the city, with six main leagues and a champions league in his name.

But Capello believes that the manager's mandate is simply a vanity project, and that his intricate tactical approach has cost him the covers in crucial games.

He said: 'Do you know what I don't like Guardiola? His arrogance. The Champions League he won with City was the only one in which he tried strange in the decisive matches.

'But in other years, in Manchester and Munich, on crucial days, he always wanted to be the main character.

“Things changed and did inventions just to say:” The players do not win, I win. “And that arrogance cost him several champions of champions. I respect him, but I see it clearly.

It is possible that Capello is based on the final defeat of the 1-0 Champions League of the City against Chelsea in 2021, when he dropped Fernandinho and Rodri to many perplexes.

There was also the time that disconcerting was with a three back against Lyon in the quarterfinals in 2020, and the game in the last draw of 2017 against Monaco when instead of defending a two -go advantage from the first leg, he presented five attackers and left Yaya Toure in the bank.

Guardiola has admitted that things get complicated. 'In the Champions League, I always think too much. I thought too much, absolutely, '' he said once. That is why I have had good results. I love thinking too much and creating stupid tactics.

Capello argued that Guardiola's football philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of retention of possession, has “ruined Italian football.”

The 78 -year -old meant that this tactical approach is inaccessible to those who lack the technical capacity to resist pressure on the ball, and that only elite players can control themselves with Guardiola's game style.

“In addition, although it is no longer his fault, he has caused enormous damage to football,” Capello continued.

'Because? Because all ten years spent trying to copy it. This ruined Italian football, which lost its identity. I kept saying: “Stop now, you don't have Guardiola players!”
